Loro Piana, Dubai

We've included this brand a few times recently after they spent years under our radar.  They have however been producing and installing some quite interesting schemes.  Sadly what you cant view in a still image is that the circular forms (which have been created from a multitude of coloured strands) rotate against a rectangular backdrop (also created from coloured strands) which help to generate a kind of Kinetic Art work.

Georgio Armani, Dubai

Ever wondered what you could do with that inflated pillow packaging that arrives with a delivery?  Then look no further.  Obviously this is the posh version of it however repetition of these inflated forms have been used to create the back drop to the product at this brand right now.  Other than that there isn't a lot more that we can say however it does look quite impressive and of course beautifully executed in the 'flesh',

Dior, Dubai

What is difficult to see here in our images is that the large bee which forms the backdrop to the product here at Dior has been created from a coloured light bulbs (or lamps depending how technical you wish to be) complete with the a large format logo in vinyl placed on the fenestration.

Kenzo, Dubai

From what we are able to deduce this is a collection especially produced for the Dubai mall, called La Collection Momento 4.  While this is not something we ourselves would ever purchase, when you are in this country you realise that the locals (and so many tourists) love the brash and the bold and therefore it is clear who they are catering for.  Also included here is a special installation by Gary Card which appears to be a stack of very large Tomatoes really.

Bloomingdales, Dubai

Bloomingdales at the Dubai Mall have such enormous spaces to work with.  This is both enviable and probably a nightmare to fill.  However as usual the team here have delivered a fun narrative in the form of a beach scene complete with crabs carrying product and a multitude of mannequins.

Bloomingdales, Dubai

In our final entry of 2017 we just wanted to slip in this scheme from Bloomingdales before we move on from this incredible country.  We sadly missed the New York installation as we were in town a little too early to see their scheme but as always, the magic and glamour of this time of year is oozing from their windows.  'Glow What Fun' is the strap line here and what we have forgotten to mention is that we have spotted an awful lot of Ferris Wheels this season here in Dubai being used in schemes across the malls.

Louis Vuitton Time Capsule, Dubai

This was a gem-of-a-find here in Dubai; The LV Time Capsule.  We recently saw the brands exhibition back in New York which we included recently for you although we hadn't anticipated finding this.  In the heart of the Dubai Mall is this installation and unlike the New York exhibition it was thankfully completely empty when we visited.  Showcasing a handpicked selection of objects and documents from their archives (wouldn't you just love to see what they have in there..!) the collection here covers over 160 years.  This temporary space includes four aspects of the House: the Codes of the brand, Journeys around the World, Elegance and Beauty in Motion.  An amazing find.

Christian Louboutin, Dubai

This schemes at Louboutin always have such an energy about them although the shapes and forms here are slightly mystifying us?  There are of course large elements of lighting on the floor among the many stacked boxes although the props are not particularly recognisable to us?  Maybe the brand are having an abstract holiday period moment, after all its no easy task implementing schemes in this part of the world where you want to appeal to the passing international footfall but don't want to upset the locals.

Loewe, Dubai

This is another slightly oddly placed store although as always they make an effort which is very much appreciated.  There is a tiny strap line at the bottom of the window here, William Morris meets Punk. Of course everything is beautifully produced although it seems so strange to see references to an iconic and historical designer such as Morris and the sub-culture Punk.  The Morris references are clearly evidenced although we dont quite understand the references to Punk?  Do you?

Hermes, Dubai

Its seems that the world over this brand can do no wrong and yet again we have another corker-of-a-scheme.  With its Parisian references in Pastel shades the props here are as always so superbly produced.  Its also worth mentioning that this is also quite an odd store as it is sat right in the middle of the mall rather than among the other luxury fashion brands in the 'drum' and always appears as a kind of 'pop-up' space; it isn't but it does seem strangely placed.

Cartier, Dubai

After weeks of cold weather its such a pleasure to feel the warmth on our faces again and this week we are exploring the delights of the Dubai Malls.  There isn't much we haven't shown you already either in London or New York so our entries are slightly limited to this week only.  As this seasonal period is rather underplayed there is not a lot of holiday cheer going on however one brand we haven't included for a while is Cartier.  Superb props as always and as we also find at Tiffany, all in miniature.

Lanvin, Dubai

This isnt the most visually exciting scheme to begin the week with although this is whats happening at the moment.  We have seen a lot of these metal structures in furniture on our travels, particularly in home ware across New York and London.  This metallic structure created from the repetition of rectangular forms shows the product quite clearly although we do like to see a bit of theatre (and humour) in schemes ourselves.

Hermes, Dubai

We've been scouting around the UAE for a few days to see whats happening and sadly most of the windows are still in Sale or have Christmas trees still installed.  This seems bizarre to western eyes although as New Year is clearly a bigger celebration than Christmas (for obvious reasons) decorated trees seem to be the preferred option.  We did however come across this scheme at Hermes in the Dubai Mall however with its almost lunar landscape in what appears to be a pop up store (we have seen this space on several occasions previously and the narratives are always beautifully produced as one would expect from this staggering brand) although there still is a temporariness about this space.
